Your household water bill is going to be going up in the new year.With the newly-approved 2014 water and sewerage capital budget, the domestic water rate will be rising by 7%--which is an extra $6 per month, or $72 per year.
City Manager Bill Edwards explains the increase should come as no surprise, given all the much needed improvements that are going to be undertaken with the water system.
The increase will come into effect regardless of council's decision about the future of fluoridating the water supply.
